Puppet

To uncover the truth behind her father's death, Yan Xin went into hiding at a puppet shop in Shengjing. Three years later, a clue connected to the Altar of Heaven finally surfaced in the case of the eldest son of a Qu merchant family on the outskirts of the capital.

She thought she could get what she wanted without a hitch, but then she ran into You Qianling, the unreasonable Prince of Pingnan.

You Qianling: “Putting on a show, looking hideous, and clearly up to no good. Arrest her!”

Yan Xin: “You look like a decent person, so why don't you act like one?”

You Qianling: “If you've got a problem with that, prove yourself and then talk to me.”

You Qianling was in charge of the investigation. At first, he only wanted to arrest the ugly woman who ran the puppet shop and use her to lure the murderer into making a move. He never expected her survival instinct to kick in so strongly that she would expose her secret identity, disguise herself as a Qu family maid, hunt down the culprit, follow the clues, and uncover the truth. She laid out the entire tale of revenge within the household in a dazzling puppet show, even revealing that someone else had helped the murderer.

She really was capable.

With a beaming smile, You Qianling changed his tune. “I arrested you to help me investigate the case and keep you safe.”

Yan Xin: “As expected, people whose words are prettier than their faces have wicked hearts.”
